I stayed here for the first time in late October . The place is beautiful . The grounds are in need of a good cleaning, painting .The rooms could also use a facelift, but for Sosua it is first class .

The pool was nice and clean . The place was empty. There was one other guy staying there besides me and my wingman . I had my girl from Puerto Plata stay with me for a few days . We had the pool all to ourselves .

I will stay at Victorian House on my next trip for 65.00/night it was well worth it . Beautiful view ....

I was there in June. I only stay at VH. Its quiet, yet a short 7 minute walk to Classico's/Rumbas. Even closer to Playa Sosua. The new management is working hard to upgrade, such as a separate Wi-Fi router in every sleeping room (shit, Marriott can't come close to that!) ... a restaurant ... laundry service $10 for whatever you can stuff in a plastic bag, etc.

ALSO, the old Sosua Bay Hotel next door (the brown stucco) is now Hotel Bellamar. They are slowing rehabbing those rooms as a new offering. Flat screen TVs, etc. Check out both.

Has anyone watched "Hotel Impossible" on the Travel Channel?? It's hysterical. The host has this handheld meter that tests for germs, bacteria, etc. His favorite place to test? Jacuzzi nozzles. The meter always zeros out the score is so high. SO ... I'm very suspicious of non-chain hotel Jacuzzis. Be careful!

It was my first time in Sosua. I stayed at the Victorian House for 3 nights.Some areas around the place can use some repairs. The view is what sells it. It's also very quiet and a short walk from the strip. If you choose tostay there, bring some of your own towels. They don't always provide themon time. If you have pre-booked, make sure you follow up because that canget screwed up as well. Overall I like the place and I will stay there againwhen I return to Sosua. I thought the food there was good.

Yea Gregg had some legal issues in Sosua because of the pool parties. Plan on visiting the club he helps manage in Puerto plata though. Not surprised he stepped away from Victorian house. And FYI, Big D is leaving the restaurant there and taking over rumbas bar and grill.

Management of the VH was not the owners ... they paid for a group to run the place. That contract expired 12/31/16. And only in the Dominican would a hotel not have a new group lined up to keep the place open. MEANWHILE the exiting management team was developing their own hotel. It's down the strip close to the old Passions. Google Ahnvee Resort and Sporits (also on Facebook). FAR more upscale and pricier.

1. Any chica brought in before 9 pm must be dressed nicely. No T&A's hanging out.2. Any chica brought in after 9 pm can be dressed any way.3. Any chica who leaves after 7 am requires a $20 fee. 4. Three different wrist bands: 1) paid guests, 2) non-"chica" guests", and 3) "chica guests."

It's obviously they are trying to appeal to non-mongers, couples, families, etc.
